跪求解释 就几道题哦 prep上的

Tiger sharks are common in the waters surrounding Tenare Island.  Usually tiger sharks feed on smaller sharks, but sometimes they have attacked tourists swimming and surfing at Tenare's beaches.  This has hurt Tenare's tourism industry, which is second only to its fishing industry in annual revenues.  In order to help the economy, therefore, the mayor of the island has proposed an ongoing program to kill any tiger sharks within a mile of the beaches.

 

Which of the following, if true, most strongly calls into question the likelihood that implementation of the mayor's proposal will have the desired consequence?

 

(A) Even if not all the tiger sharks that come close to the beaches are killed, the existence of the program would reassure tourists.

(B) Business owners who depend on tourism are willing to pay most of the cost of implementing the program.

(C) Tourists come to Tenare Island for its beaches, even though the island features a number of other tourist attractions.

(D) The small sharks on which tiger sharks prey feed on fish that are commercially important to the island's fisheries.

(E) Not all tourists who come to Tenare Island enjoy swimming or surfing.

我想问:C D哪个选项好??

Columnist:  People should avoid using a certain artificial fat that has been touted as a resource for those whose medical advisers have advised them to reduce their fat intake.  Although the artificial fat, which can be used in place of fat in food preparation, has none of the negative health effects of fat, it does have a serious drawback:  it absorbs certain essential vitamins, thereby preventing them from being used by the body.

 

In evaluating the columnist's position, it would be most useful to determine which of the following?这个问题应该怎么理解?

 

(A) Whether increasing one's intake of the vitamins can compensate for the effects of the artificial fat

(B) Whether the vitamins that the artificial fat absorbs are present in foods that contain the fat

(C) Whether having an extremely low fat intake for an extended period can endanger the health

(D) Whether there are any foods that cannot be prepared using the artificial fat as a substitute for other fats

(E) Whether people are generally able to detect differences in taste between foods prepared using the artificial fat and foods that are similar except for the use of other fats

Radio stations with radio data system (RDS) technology broadcast special program information that only radios with an RDS feature can receive.  Between 1994 and 1996, the number of RDS radio stations in Verdland increased from 250 to 600.  However, since the number of RDS-equipped radios in Verdland was about the same in 1996 as in 1994, the number of Verdlanders receiving the special program information probably did not increase significantly.

 

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

 

(A) Few if any of the RDS radio stations that began broadcasting in Verdland after 1994 broadcast to people with RDS-equipped radios living in areas not previously reached by RDS stations.这是正确选项
        
但是这句话我应该怎么翻译阿……

(B) In 1996 most Verdlanders who lived within the listening area of an RDS station already had a radio equipped to receive RDS.

(C) Equipping a radio station with RDS technology does not decrease the station's listening area.

(D) In 1996 Verdlanders who did not own radios equipped to receive RDS could not receive any programming from the RDS radio stations that began broadcasting in Verdland after 1994.

(E) The RDS radio stations in Verdland in 1996 did not all offer the same type of programming.

The cotton farms of Country Q became so productive that the market could not absorb all that they produced.  Consequently, cotton prices fell.  The government tried to boost cotton prices by offering farmers who took 25 percent of their cotton acreage out of production direct support payments up to a specified maximum per farm.

 

The government's program, if successful, will not be a net burden on the budget.  Which of the following, if true, is the best basis for an explanation of how this could be so?题是什么意思?读不懂啊~正确答案是d    

 

(A) Depressed cotton prices meant operating losses for cotton farms, and the government lost revenue from taxes on farm profits.

(B) Cotton production in several countries other than Q declined slightly the year that the support-payment program went into effect in Q.

(C) The first year that the support-payment program was in effect, cotton acreage in Q was 5% below its level in the base year for the program.

(D) The specified maximum per farm meant that for very large cotton farms the support payments were less per acre for those acres that were withdrawn from production than they were for smaller farms.

(E) Farmers who wished to qualify for support payments could not use the cotton acreage that was withdrawn from production to grow any other crop.

Transnational cooperation among corporations is experiencing a modest renaissance among United States firms, even though projects undertaken by two or more corporations under a collaborative agreement are less profitable than projects undertaken by a single corporation.  The advantage of transnational cooperation is that such joint international projects may allow United States firms to win foreign contracts that they would not otherwise be able to win.

 

Which of the following is information provided by the passage?

 

(A) Transnational cooperation involves projects too big for a single corporation to handle.

(B) Transnational cooperation results in a pooling of resources leading to high-quality performance.

(C) Transnational cooperation has in the past been both more common and less common than it is now among United States firms.这个是真不懂了

(D) Joint projects between United States and foreign corporations are not profitable enough to be worth undertaking.

(E) Joint projects between United States and foreign corporations benefit only those who commission the projects.

5.问题问的是对likelihood that implementation of the mayor's proposal will have the desired consequence的质疑,也就是说,mayor'sporoposal is not effective in order to help the economy。回到原文,mayor's proposal是to kill tiger sharks。问题在于,杀死虎鲨就能帮助经济增长吗?如果当地的经济不仅是依赖于tourism(第二大产业),而且依赖于fish(第一大产业),而杀死虎鲨会使小鲨鱼增加,小鲨鱼增加就会吃掉更多的fish,这样的话,不仅不能帮助到经济反而会伤害经济。所以选D。

40. Evaluation题。如果要评价观点是否正确,需要选择一个因素,包含“是”或者“否”;如果“是”会support结论,“否”会weaken结论,即为正解(反之亦然)

11. Assumption题。这里选A是rule out alternatives (排除他因)。A原意是:几乎没有(few if any = 即便有也是很少)RDS radio station在1994年之后向那些居住在之前都没有该radio的地区的居民播放节目。也就是说,如果有的地区1994之前没有收到RDS,现在收到RDS了,那么听众其实是增加的,就会削弱结论。

55.答案应该是A吧。问题是:哪个选项能够解释政府的措施不会造成财政上的负担。为什么会有财政负担呢?因为政府补贴那些减产25%的农民,补贴造成了财政支出增加,但是为什么又不会增加负担呢?因为cotton的价格上涨,政府能够获得更多的tax收入,弥补支出。A说明了cotton price和government's revenue from tax之间的关系。

67.这道题也有点tricky的。关键词:modest renaissance。你可以理解为“走上复兴中庸之路”——简单的说,transnational project曾经被BS了,后来又倡导过头了,现在走回中庸了,跟both common and less common吻合。后面解释了为什么。这道题考察完全忠于原文,有点像阅读题了。
